Just Say No. To Kool-Aid.
Posted By Kristabella on January 21, 2009
To the people of the world:
This is a public service announcement. I need you to spread the word and educate your children and your friends and family. There is a new drug that is running rampant out on the streets and in our homes. It is taking over the lives of people who come in contact with it. It is ruining careers, shattering marriages and breaking up relationships. It is the new crack.
I’m of course talking about Sugar-Free Kool-Aid.
I’m Kristin. And I a Kool-Aid-aholic. I speak to you on this very serious problem that exists in our society as someone who is addicted to Sugar-Free Kool-Aid. I am currently trying to stop using, but I find it too hard. I am trying to take it one day at a time.
I have never been addicted to anything before. Bad reality television, possibly, but I could stop watching it any time. But this. This addiction? I can’t quit it. I find myself craving cherry Kool-Aid at all hours. I can’t drink one glass. I have sympathy for the crack whores now!
As soon as that cherry goodness touches my lips, I keep drinking. Once I finish a glass, I fill up another and another, until the pitcher is gone. Once the pitcher is gone, I make more. Until I find myself in the grocery store at 3 AM wearing nothing but sweatpants, a bra and paper shoes, scratching at my skin, scratching an itch that doesn’t exist, until I buy out all the containers of cherry Kool-Aid. All of them! THEY ARE MINE!
While it is helping my diet, in its low-calorie addictiveness, it is not helping my sanity. Or my teeth, which are a permanent shade of BLOOD RED. This is what the inside of Edward’s mouth must look like after a kill.
So I warn you, ALL OF YOU, take heed, STAY AWAY FROM THE KOOL-AID. Stop this before it takes over the country and we become a nation of red-tongued heathens. Please, do it for the CHILDREN!
I appreciate your efforts.
Signed,
Kristin

My addiction is of the Crystal Light variety. Same difference. Sigh.

You are brilliant.
My addiction appears to be Little Debbies. It had not been a good week for my diet.

Funny! I love Crystal Light Pink Lemonade. Try it – your teeth will thank me…LOL
I buy the Sugar free mini Kool Aid packets made for bottled water….gotta love them. Ever try sugar free iced tea???? Delish!!!!
I think you should try the blue Kool Aid, and then your tongue would be purple. Now that rocks!!!

Have you considered using it as a lip gloss instead?

1. Ali is such a freak.
2. Kool-Aid is SO inferior to Crystal Light.
My name is Schwerer, and I too, am addicted to Sugar Free Kool-Aid (or the Walmart Crystal Light). Raspberry Lemonade is my drug of choice!
Don’t even try the Raspberry Lemonade… Don’t do it…
Hubby and I are both addicted to the generic Crystal Light pink lemonade. It’s the government, I tell ya! They’re putting something in this stuff that keeps us coming back for more!

I think you need an intervention. I’m a firm believer that sugar substitutes are probably really bad for us.
I’ve got an ever so slight cranapple addiction. May I recommend that to you instead? The only deal is that you need to drink little amounts, like half a cup, at a time.
Noelles last blog post..You can’t spell “Breaucracy” without “cracy”, which is “crazy” mispelled, by the way.
I used to drink Kool-Aid all the time. Except, I don’t do fake sugar so I drank the full-on sugar version. There was always a pitcher or two of Kool-Aid in the fridge.
And then I discovered Jewel’s store-brand flavored sparkling water. It comes in all sorts of fruit flavors and has no sugar or sugar substitutes. I don’t know what kind of magic they use to flavor it but it’s super tasty and I assume much better for you and your tongue than Kool-Aid. At the very least it’s clear so it doesn’t turn anything any strange colors.

Since getting knocked up all I want to drink is sugar free kool-aid. I mentioned to jparks the other day that I’m worried the baby will come out either stained red or shaped like the kool-aid man. You make it by the pitcher? Amateur. I make it by the gallon. And if you use a straw it really helps with the kool-aid lips and mouth.

That’s one the funniest photos I have seen in a long time! I’ve never had Kool-Aid although I’m a huge fan of all the times he appears on “Family Guy.”
But despite your warning, I now feel compelled to try it!
TUWABVBs last blog post..We Will Extend A Hand if You Are Willing to Unclench Your Fist
you and my neighbors. they have two HUGE JUGS OF KOOL-AID in their recycle bin. not that i go and dig in their bins but DANG! that’s a lot of kool aid.
my downfall is Strawberry Fanta. I mainline it by the case.
Just gotta say…the bangs, they ROCK!

Dude. Now I’m craving sugar-free cherry kool-aid. I *love* kool-aid, but have been forcing myself to just keep water, beer and wine in the house, and no juices or sodas.
But now that the idea is in my head? It’s so on.
By the way, some of the red has washed out of my hair color, and now we have pretty much the same hair, but mine is longer.
Yet another thing that proves we just *might* be related..
for a moment, I thought this was going to be a political post. I’m So glad it wasn’t!
I don’t like kool aid. My mom never made it when we were kids and I hated having to drink it at other kids’ houses. I hope you can break the habit.
Scarlets last blog post..In Your Honor
Ummm….I drink like a GALLON of Kool-Aid a day! The red kind. Only, it’s actually Crystal Light and Scott makes fun of me because I call it Kool-Aid all the times. It’s kind of like Band-Aids, Q-Tips, etc. how you just call all knock-off brands by their more famed counterparts.

Ugh. Now, if you were talking about purple Kool-Aid, we’d have a problem.
Cute bangs!

Now, typically I don’t like cherry-flavored foodstuffs, but cherry Kool-Aid is my favorite!
